The two entrepreneurs purchased the basketball club from Kohl. They paid Kohl $550 million in order to alter the ownership of the team. However, there were some agreements that the two new co-owners had to agree. After completing the deal in 2014, they had to conform to the fans plea not to alter the club’s location.

Marc and Wes agreed to the plea and even promised to construct a new Arena that was going to accommodate the multitudes of spectators.

The Arena was too small failing to accommodate all the Milwaukee fans, especially when the team had home matches.
